Abstract/Preface
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection that can cause cervical cancer, as well as other cancers and genital warts. While most HPV infections resolve on their own without causing any health problems, some strains of the virus can lead to serious conditions such as cervical cancer, genital warts, and other cancers affecting the genitals, anus, mouth, and throat According to the World Health Organization (WHO), HPV is responsible for approximately 528,000 cases of cervical cancer and 266,000 deaths worldwide each year [1]. However, HPV vaccination has been proven to be a safe and effective way to prevent HPV-related diseases.
